Simple ports system for IRIX that's designed to be able to run on a fresh install.
If you've never used irixports on the system, run bootstrap.sh as root to bootstrap some necessary tools.
Run the script inside of the port's folder!
You can run the steps of port scripts one at a time:
fetch, configure, build, install.
The port scripts have cleaning functionality:
clean, clean_dist, clean_all.
There is also early support for uninstalling:
uninstall.
You can create a file in the top level directory called config.sh. This can change some default variables, such as $prefix, without getting in the way of keeping up with upstream.
